Pre Scriptum (As opposed to Post Scriptum): I am aware that I attempted to send this E-Mail before. However, I do not thin kthat my E-Mail service was functioning porperly and am re-sending it to make certain that you have received the letter. I do appologise if this causes un-due problems, et cetera. I thank you for your Co-Operation. To whom it may concern: I have just finished downloading the Koha ILS. I downloaded Apache and MySQL (though I have Microsoft Access which is reputedly much better. So, could I use that in lieu of MySQL?) and they appear to be functioning under normal parameters (red feather and green light). My OS is Microsoft Windows 2000 Pro. I have read and re-read your instructions to set up a database on MySQL. It says to enter (for example) mysqladmin -uroot -ppassword . It makes no mention of where to do this, though, and I am not sure if I should be replacing the -uroot and -ppassword with -ucharles -pmango as in my Root is charles and the password is mango. I don't even know if I should be doing that at all, or if I should hit the enter button afterwards. In short, I am rather confused and require much assistance, indeed. However, I also realize that you are busy-bodies and that you may or may not have time to show me how to do this step by step (or, at least elaborate on the instruction that you gave (which, I must say, appear to be very good, if only I knew the very basics, which I do not.).). Before I sent this E-Mail, I had attempted both an IRC dialogue and to subscribe to your mailing list, but, I received an odd message: Not called from accepted referrer . Subsequently, I resorted to this. I indeed look forward to your reply. Sincerely, a hopeful David Litwin.
